Candle Care Tips

At Opal Hues, we take pride in crafting high-quality scented candles that enhance your space with warmth, fragrance, and beauty. To ensure a long-lasting, clean, and safe burn, follow these essential candle care tips:

1. First Burn Matters

  • Always allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface to prevent tunneling.
  • Keep the candle lit for at least 2-3 hours during the first burn.

2. Trim the Wick

  • Before each use, trim the wick to ¼ inch to prevent excessive smoke and soot.
  • Use a wick trimmer or small scissors for precision.

3. Burn Safely

  • Place the candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from flammable materials.
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended or near pets and children.

4. Optimal Burn Time

  • Burn your candle for 3-4 hours at a time to maximize longevity and maintain fragrance intensity.
  • Avoid burning for more than 4 hours to prevent overheating.

5. Extinguishing the Right Way

  • Use a candle snuffer to safely extinguish the flame without causing smoke.
  • Avoid blowing out the candle, as this may create wax splatter.

6. Storage & Maintenance

  • Keep your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its fragrance.
  • Cover jar candles with a lid when not in use to prevent dust accumulation.

7. Reuse & Repurpose

  • Once your candle is finished, clean the jar and reuse it for storage, décor, or DIY projects.

By following these simple tips, you can enjoy a longer-lasting, cleaner burn while maximizing the aromatic experience of your Opal Hues candles. Illuminate your space with care and create a tranquil ambiance with every glow! 💛✨
